Guided Tours(grades 1-12, adults)Before bringing your group to the Zoo, be sure to call and request a guided tour to ensure a fulfilling experience. Our most popular tour addresses the questions and interests of Zoo visitors ages six and up. Get the inside scoop on the animals as our trained docents guide your group through a 1 1/2 hour tour of the major exhibits, with brief interpretive talks along the way. With advanced notice, our docents will even customize the tour to the topics covered by your school or special interest group.
